5.1.1.6.3.13 MRFUd Technical Specifications

Adopting the software-defined radio (SDR) technology, multimode radio frequency unit type D
(MRFUd) modules can work in different modes with different configurations.

NOTE:
For an MRFUd operating in the 900 MHz frequency band, only the hardware of this module supports the LTE
mode.
In Table 1, * indicates that an MRFUd working in the 1800MHz frequency band supports the 75 MHz IBW when
the PIM interference does not occur.

RF Specifications
Table 2 lists RF specifications of an MRFUd/MRFUd V6/MRFUdw V6.

NOTE:
 ATBR in the Transmit and Receive Channels column indicates that this RF module has A transmit channels
and B receive channels.
 CxD W in the Output Power column indicates that this RF module is configured with C transmit channels and
the maximum output power of each transmit channel is D W.
 EF MSR indicates that E and F data is carried on the same transmit channel of an RF module.
 EF non-MSR indicates that E and F data is carried on two different transmit channels of an RF module.
 GSM receiver sensitivity is measured, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, in the central band (80% of the full
band) at the antenna connector on condition that the channel rate reaches 13 kbit/s and the bit error rate (BER) is
not higher than 2%.
 UMTS receiver sensitivity is measured, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, over the full band at the antenna
connector on condition that the channel rate reaches 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is not higher than 0.001.
 LTE FDD receiver sensitivity is measured, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, under a 5 MHz channel
bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3, 25 RBs) standard.
 The MRFUd that works in GSM mode and operates in the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz frequency band complies with
the EN 301 502 V9.2.1 standard.
 The MRFUd that works in UMTS, LTE FDD, or MSR mode and operates in the 900 or 1800 MHz frequency
band complies with the ETSI EN 301 908 V5.2.1 and 3GPP TS 37.104 standards.
